Sewing a Medieval Dress 🧵 No Pattern ✂️ My Own Design

[@iamvictoriarae]

I feel like a lot of people think that when making historically inspired garments that you have to have 100% accurate fabrics even when not reenacting. Cotton is a great fabric! You go girl!

Sarah, you really surprised your Nana with your sewing talents ! It was cool to see you sew. And you really use the correct methods too! I’m jealous that I’m not there to sew 🧵 with you. I really loved how you put this video together and especially your modeling at the end. Your music choice is outstanding and your modeling is very creative! I give you a BIG “10” stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for your efforts and final production!!!!!!! ♥️😘. With love, Nana. PS. BTW: I posted this video on Facebook to all my friends so I could brag about my wonderful granddaughter!!!!!! 🥰😉🤩😎😊

Thank you, Nana! 😊❤

THANK YOUUU that's exactly what I was looking for, I'm a beginner and these other tutorials overwhelmed me so much

[@naomilacken152]

If you sew the sleeves on before sewing the side seams and sleeve seams it makes it easier to sew it. Then you just sew from the hem straight up to the wrist. This is great for blouses or dresses. Thanks so much for the video and look forward to seeing more! God bless you and your work!

[@FaithandFlowers]

Thank you so much! That tip will really come in handy for future sewing projects. I really appreciate it. God bless you too!

[@naomilacken152]

You're very welcome, one of the best things I learned over the years. As soon as I sew the shoulders I sew those sleeves and it's so much easier to navigate :) especially if they're gathered.

Thank you for this video! I have been stressing over my dress because I can't find patterns or tutorials. You showed me I don't need that! Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@FaithandFlowers]

I'm so happy I could help! 😊 Have fun making your dress!

[@poetmaggie1]

Brilliant way to run your string, I have an extra stick like that, at my house I am adding it to my sewing tools.

[@LittleMizSocks]

Thanks to this video, I had an idea of how to start the overdress! Looking at the pieces you have made really helps how to construct it. In conclusion, I made that in time for the renfair!

[@katarinadankova2949]

Wow, you are incredible. Don´t stop sewing, you are great at it.

[@FaithandFlowers]

Hi I only just found your channel. This is not a critical comment. They wore linen next to the skin as a base layer as it wicks away sweat and body grease, stays cool to the touch and won't fail a sniff test for up to 4 days unless you really get hot and excessively sweaty. You could wash the living day lights out of it and it stayed strong. This layer kept them cleaner and was as changed often as possible. The wool layer went over the shift which protected the skin from any scratchy itchiness from the wool, which was harder to wash so usually wasn't washed at all or rarely as it gets heavy when wet. So, the linen layer also protected the outer clothing from the mucky body. It could get brushed and aired, stored with scented herbs to freshen and keep moths and bugs at bay, and spot cleaned. People wore aprons and covers over outer clothing to protect from getting dirty while working as again lighter weight things are easier to wash. Trying to find fine linen these days is hard work and expensive. it mostly comes in medium or heavy weights for outer clothing and curtains etc not the fine lighter weight type they used. I use either cotton linen blends or linen look viscose if I want it to look like linen and cotton when I am not that bothered. Whatever your use you'll still get the look of the era by the style of the garment. There are some people acting as gatekeepers to historical accuracy among the costuming folk. You can never be truly accurate with any modern made fabrics and close enough is close enough in my humble opinion.

Super cute and creative! Great Job 👍

[@FaithandFlowers]

Thank you! 😊

[@Sammwalton]

The under dress was usually called a chemise or shift! 😊

[@FaithandFlowers]

Thank you! I had just looked everything up on the internet briefly before filming to try and learn the correct terms, but I guess the internet was wrong 😅 Thank you for telling me what it's actually called. :)

[@smilingreshmi]

I like this video but I have a question could you do this style dress for a Harry Potter founder?

[@khanieandsweetievlogs9911]

Very nice

[@abigailjoanna6139]

This is awesome! I'm also sewing for a Ren Fair this year. Would it be possible to message you and ask some questions?

[@FaithandFlowers]

Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful time at the Renaissance Fair. You are welcome to ask me questions right here in the comment section and I will do my best to answer them for you :)

[@sekoraschuman1589]

Awesome Job! Btw, I see history facts cards up on your wall...are you a CC student?

[@FaithandFlowers]

Thank you! And good observation lol. I did used to be a CC student.

[@bowlomacnchez8776]

I want to sew a skirt now... problem is I don’t know if my mom will let me use the sewing machine😂HOT GLUE HERE I COME

[@TheCosmicSpaceWitch]

How many yards of fabric did you use?

[@FaithandFlowers]

I don't remember exactly, but I am thinking maybe around 3 or 4 yards of each kind of fabric? I am not completely sure, so I reccomend purchasing whatever amount of fabric you think you will need for your own personal size.
